Sandy Ryza commented on YARN-392:
---------------------------------

Disable-node allows you to say "I specifically don't want a container on this 
node".  I can't speak to whether this is a useful feature, but it makes the 
semantics consistent in the sense that the flag can simply mean "don't directly 
use this ResourceRequest for an allocation".  Thoughts?

If we allow Disable-node, I like disableAllocation as the name.  Otherwise, 
fallThrough or relaxLocality both seem good to me.

bq. The two checks seem to be different. One checks for containers > 0 while 
the other does not. Dont know if that matters in the fair scheduler?
This is correct behavior, according to the way I was envisioning it.  If we hit 
a disableAllocation flag, we want to abort trying to allocate this 
node/priority to the app entirely.  On the other hand, if the node/rack has 0 
requests, we want to fall through to the next level.  I'll try to see if 
there's a clearer way to structure the code.

bq. As discussed earlier in this jira, its not possible to mix strict and 
non-strict allocations at the same priority.  I dont see that being 
checked/enforced anywhere.
I'll add that in.  What should we do if the submitted ResourceRequests are 
invalid? 

Capacity scheduler changes are targeted for YARN-398.
